NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(defaultLocale); ..., but it prints pattern's currency sign symbol ¤ What should I do to get the $ sign right in the place, instead of ¤ ? (By the way, the same program works properly on NT environment). Some System properties: java.vm.info - build Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_06 java.specification.version - 1.2 user.language - en More>>

Have you tried setting directly the default locale instead of relying on the default locale?


NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale("en","US"));

You can also verify what you default locale is by executing:


Locale defaultLocale = Locale.getDefault();
System.out.println(defaultLocale.toString());

Cheers,
